The Post Office will not be moved.
When the new depot is built it will bring
the distance within the limit which the
railway company will be obliged to de-
liver the mails at the post Office free Of
charge. IF the post office were moved
to the Kimball block it would take it out
of the limit, and the carrying of the mails
between the trains and the post office
would have to be paid for, as it now is.
The building now used for the post
Office is being oyerhauled and several
improvements will be made in it.
About II o'clock on Wednesday
night some one set fire to the dry grass
on the vacant lots on Ann street just
north of the city cemetery. 1t made
big blaze for about five minutes, but
was extinguished by the people living
in the neighborhood. As the fire started
some distance from the road, it could
not have been caused by carelessly
throwing cigar stub away. Had there
been any wind at the time it might
have caused considerable damage to
neighboring property. If it was done
for the purpose of bringing the Gremen
to the extreme south end of the city, it
failed of its object.
